It goes beyond the black vote. That is lost forever. There is nothing Republicans can do about it
They have also lost the gay vote which Republicans scoff at. But that 2-3% of the vote packs powerful repercussions. In its steadfast opposition to all things gay, Republicans have branded themself as a party opposed to fair treatment of the oppressed. In a nutshell, Republicans come off like a bunch of pricks
Now we get to the Hispanic vote which has Republicans sweating. Should they support immigration reform to make inroads with the 73% of Hispanic voters who do not vote Republicans or should they block voters who will eventually vote Democrat anyway? Lose/lose for Republicans
Young women voters. Only 45% of all women voted Republican in the last election. Among young women, it is closer to 30%. Stupid Republican discussions on legitimate rape, date rape and access to birth control of a womans choice is killing Republicans
Add it all up and you have a White, male, christian party headed for obsolescence
